The Chairman opened the meeting, welcomed members and presented April's minutes.

Points from Minutes
1. Members are asked to suggest places that are inadequately lit. A few examples were given immediately.
2. Bins - There is to be better provision soon.
3. Little Star Foundation - This is Haven's named charity and suggestions are invited of deserving causes with a Scottish connection who would be interested in applying for a grant.
4. Caravans in transit but taking up parking spaces around the centre or causing other obstruction will be removed within seven days.
5. Atlantic Showbar - improvement in entertainment promised.
6. Turnberry Gardens - Owners Passes must be shown for cut-price meals.
7. Recommendation Procedure - Owners must adhere to the conditions from the beginning of the process in order to be given an award.
8. Mash and Barrel - Heating is an on-going problem and though it is in hand it may take some time which, with any luck, the summer weather will provide.

Big Night Out
Many members feel that Friday night is not suitable for this event.

Soft Play Area
This popular facility is in need of some maintenace (broken gate) and cleaning (dirty carpet). A staff member to provide some measure of supervision (e.g. to stop the misuse of the area by children above the permitted age) would be welcomed.

Security
Member requests a more visible presence especially at busy times.

Management Surgery
Member was disappointed to find no-one in attendance after 10 o'clock on Satuday 25th April.

Fun Bikes
Member has observed that Fun Bikes are being run over the grass to a detrimental effect.

Quasar and Rollerskating
Member noted that this venue is closed on Friday and Monday even on local holidays. Entertainment Rep. assures us that the venue did open on that Monday. Incidentally discount vouchers for this facility are available from the shop.

Big Hit
Member requests more advance publicity on these events.

Owners Experience Days
The Experience Day involving ballroom dancing lessons was well organised by the visiting teachers and very much enjoyed by the participants. However there was a very poor attendance at both sessions.
